On December 15th the Watering Hole in Spring Creek, Nevada held its 13th annual Big Buck and Bull Contest and I'm happy to say that it was a great time. First off I'd like to thank all of our sponsors who donated prizes, time and money. The taxidermists are some of our biggest donators and make nothing on each head mount they donate. They donate thier time and materials and have graciously given to thier community and for that I ask that you guys give them your bussiness in return. Those taxidermists are, Gary Powell of North Slope taxidermy who has been with us the longest and donated two deer head mounts and several Badlands backpacks. Thankyou Gary for your continued support over the years. Al Harris of Rack em up Taxidermy who came to us on his owne accord without being asked and has been donating since 2008. Thank you Al for giving to us and the community. Jimmy Lynn who also came to me this year and donated a free head mount. Thanks Jimmy for bringing back our muzzleloader category. Also Jeff Frost of Intermountain Taxidermy and Worldwide Adventures in Twinn Falls who donated an elk and deer head mount.
Several years ago people who had gone to Twinn Falls and used Jeff told me about a taxidermist that wanted to get involved and donate to our contest. After hearing about him for two years I decided I needed to go see him. Jeff was very adamant about wanting to give to our contest and give back to the people who have given him thier bussiness in Twinn Falls. We quickly formed a friendship and he has now donated to us in both 2011 and 2012. And in addition, he has led me to another new donator for the 2012 contest which I will talk about later. But for now lets go to our contest and look at some bucks!
Starting with the archery category we go to our 3rd place winner, Alex Stone, who took a nice 3x4 in velvet in Nevada's early archery season.
Second place winner is Dave Gowan who was out cat hunting but sent his lovely daughter Kriston to stand in his place to recieve his prize.
Chris Carter was our first place winner and he won a free head mount and a new PSE bow. Congrats on a great buck Chris!
Next we will go to the muzzleloader category so stay tuned.
